Abstract
Research to enhance the reliability of silicon nitride monolithic and composite ceramics is traced from fundamental laboratory studies through component implementation. The results indicate that an optimum green body microstructure is the key to improved reliability, as measured by Weibull statistics. A discussion of metallic impurities, and the requirement to minimize such inclusions, is presented. Again, enhanced reliability accompanies the limitation of these impurities in ceramic components.
